Finding support with slings and carrying
Although SlingSure & Fife Sling Library is no longer open to offer local support to families, the 2020 pandemic meant that many excellent carrying consultants and sling libraries throughout the UK widened their services to include online support. Whether you would like to access help using your own carrier, or are interested in hiring, the people and organisations below are offering postal hire and video carrying support, and sling retail in some cases.
They are listed in no particular order and this list was correct and up-to-date as at May 2021.
I've listed the Scottish ones first but almost all of the organisations listed below offer postal hires and virtual consultations throughout the UK. This list is not exhaustive and there may be other professionals offering similar services - if you would like to be added to this list, please contact me on [email protected]
I've included website and Facebook page links for each one:
